FROM ACADEMIA TO INDUSTRY: talk to a linguist!
by Jeremy Freudberg 29 Mar '19

29 Mar '19

Dear linguists, We're pleased to announce an upcoming event hosted by the Graduate Research Forum: *"From academia to industry"* Thursday, April 4 at 5:00pm, in CAS 228 Facebook event link / details: https://www.facebook.com/events/580730025771640/ Refreshments provided If you want to hear from a linguistics student who made his way to a relevant job in industry, then this event is for you! Nate LaFave earned his PhD in Linguistics at NYU and is currently working as Senior Language Data Researcher at Amazon. Come ask him anything you want about his transition, what it's like working for such a big company, and anything else you can think of! The event will be beneficial for undergraduate linguistics students too, as many wonder how to apply their linguistics degrees outside of academia. We hope to see you there! Best, Your BULA Officers
